Even absent the income differences the main market has been the left in the US and the US right has been explicitly anti-EV for years.

Q1 might be weaker but Tesla's numbers are weak compared to their previous Q1 numbers so the general yearly cycle is factored into to these being bad numbers already.

That's the main explanation I can see, all other EV car sellers in the US are growing their sales [0] it appears it appears to be specific to Tesla and the main thing that's changed there is Musk and his plunge towards the far rig

He seems to be doing it fairly safely by having it housed in a building a whole 50m away from the main dwelling. A fire from there could spread to the house or elsewhere but it's no longer a metal fire so it's a lot easier to deal

That's the neat part about lithium fires you just can't, they're self oxidizing so there's not much you can do to definitively put them out the best option is usually to flood them with water to cool them down and contai

AFAIK 18650s like he's using never swell as they're in hard metal shells not pouches like most consumer electronics, so they don't have the ability to swell until they're catastrophically damaged. He's built a small

Also manufacturing a car is vastly different from manufacturing small electronic devices (not that that competence lives entirely with in Apple but they're experienced in designing them for manufacture). If Apple wanted to do car manuf

There are really good shaders out there that get really really close to the hand drawn look. My personal favorite come from the Guilty Gear series.

Seems like the 200k context window is a huge issue and it's summarization deletes important information leading it to revisit solved areas even when it's working properly or simply forget things it needs to progress.

That's a point in Google's favor but it's not really what "network effect" (traditionally) means. Network effect is a specific term about the increasing utility of a service as more people use compatible services, i

There's a lot less network effects in the chatbot space. It doesn't really matter what your friends are using so it's way easier to get people to switch by being better. Not saying there's no benefit to ChatGPT's po

Another reason is it gives us ideas of what to look for if we're trying to find life on other planets or moons instead of just dead remnants.

A lot of the world was hot for eugenics at the time the US in particular, a lot of the pre-Final Solution laws were systematizing things that were happening in the US on an basis ranging from ad-hoc to legal; sterilization of people with me

You're arguing against an imaginary position, no one is really arguing that people don't and didn't have to work for the things they managed to do just that there are structural and historical forces that made what they do po

Depends on when you're talking about, imo post WW2 so much happened here because we survived the war pretty much entirely intact so our industry could continue to boom while the rest of the world rebuilt. That's always been my pre

Coiling was actually the main method and there's not any evidence they used potters wheels until after European contact and even then it didn't take off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramics_of_Indigenous_pe

Over hilly terrain in jungle-y environments I bet that goes down a fair amount though, you have to make the simultaneous leap of wheeled carts plus road paving or maintenance to make the carts not a slog probably.

by rtkwe 2y ago
Another potential reason it was never scaled up to carts is they didn't have access to a great draft animal candidate. Without that early carts are a lot less useful. The largest options were llamas or alpacas which are still fairly sm

I went though most of a pure math degree along side my CS degree and I don't think I ever saw ẏ used, mathematics as far as I know basically completely adopted the Leibniz notation.

I'm not saying it does, just thought it was an interesting aside to talk about, Barbarossa was pretty flawed from the very beginning. Also I don't think it's a great pro-Great Man nor anti-Structuralist argument. Structuralis

The ground was definitely ripe for Communism/Socialism, you see some glimmers of it in things decades before in the French Revolution.

At the same time the environment of the times and place (encompassing the political sphere here as well) they rose to power also tends to select particular types of people to rule. I'm not a pure structuralist for sure, there's a

There's definitely problems with a 100% structuralist view of history too make no mistake. Things like politics, battles and wars are more prone to the effects of outliers and random chance just by their nature, you can't have 100

Their current best satellite in the constellation is the SuperDove and it takes images ~637 sq km at a time so, as a naive calculation, to cover the whole earth at any single instant you'd need over 800 thousand of Planet's SuperD

It's not about wiping out individual achievements it's just about recognizing that no one does it alone and that some ideas were just ready to explode. Radio, Calculus, the Steam Engine, etc all had simultaneous inventions in many

It's not impossible to find of course, it's not like it's being suppressed, but if you just go through high school, and a lot of colleges depending on their general education requirements, your main history education will be

It's a big deficiency in the way history is taught, at least here in the US, it's mostly taught as Guy/Group X did Y in year ZZZZ and leaves out a lot of the context that shows how many people were often doing similar things
